Developers will typically interact with Limio in different ways than business users, for example, they will:

• Create new commerce experiences via Custom Components in React or TypeScript, leveraging the Limio SDK. See more details below on this core use case.

• Access Limio APIs to better integrate Limio into your architecture and channels:

  • Catalog API to retrieve or modify programmatically Limio Catalog data

  • Orders API to send orders to Limio from any channels

  • Object API to retrieve Limio Subscription data

  • Abandoned Basket API to retrieve abandoned carts

• Configure Webhooks Overview to be notified of certain events like new orders or entitlement changes

How Developers create new experiences with Limio

Limio Commerce users create commerce experiences by adding Components to the Limio Page Builder. React is the foundational technology behind Limio Components. TypeScript is also supported.

Components can be of two types. Limio Components are off-the-shelf, no-code components, available to business users to quickly create commerce experiences. You can see all Limio Components in:

Components

Custom Components are custom-built by developers to fit unique or bespoke needs, designs or requirements. Both Limio Components and Custom Components can be used in Limio's Page Builder by the Go-To-Market teams, enabling collaboration.

For example, developers may build Custom Components for:

• Pricing: Unique pricing display such as a pricing matrix or a price calculator

• Verification: Verifying user information such as their account status to redirect them to the most appropriate offers

• Inventory: Check availability and deliverability of a product in a third-party fulfilment platform

• Marketing: Surface an exit intent popup that adds a promo code to the cart

• Promotional: Create a custom cart component to automatically add a promo code when two products are added (bundle & save)

• Personalisation: Surface upsell options in self-service for a subset of subscribers

Custom Components retrieve information about the catalog, the user, the subscription, the cart and more via the Limio SDK. It also allows to integrate third-party APIs . This allows you to build more powerful or personalised experiences.

Custom Components are designed for web developers to build with ease, using familiar tools such as Visual Studio, Storybook, CircleCI for CI/CD pipeline, and GitHub for versioning, all without needing to log into the Limio application.
